Sabrina Perez’ opponent in the fight was Skye Nicolson.

After the title contest, which took place at Auditorio Municipal Fausto Gutierrez, Sabrina learnt that her husband was hit by a lethal heart attack which succeeded in killing him.

Arua’s problem started in the tenth round of the match, so he did not live to witness the final results.

One of the suspected reasons for the misfortune was that Sabrina Perez was being beaten by Skye Nicolson by a sizeable margin.

58 years old Arua was also a trainer, and served as that of his wife. The Argentine worked with his wife in a good number of matches, and the fans praised this in their tributes which keep coming in.

Later in an announcement of the stunning tragedy, the president of the World Boxing Corporation, Mauricio Sulaiman said the deceased was rushed to the hospital following the heart attack. He further revealed that Arua gave up the ghost at the hospital after the medical personnel had tried all they could.

‘It is with deep sadness that we have been informed of the sudden death of Argentine coach Diego Arua, who suffered a devastating heart attack during the Sabrina Pérez fight in Tijuana,’ said Sulaiman. ‘The medical services did everything possible and he died at the QDEP general hospital.’

Our thoughts and condolences are with Sabrina Perez and your loved ones.
